Much trickier than Kaepernick. He's a private citizen and all are afforded the B.O.R.

HOWEVER.... the military is quite the opposite. When you sign up, you are governed under the UCMJ. This specifically cites UCMJ article 92. I wonder if the commander is going to discipline (in my opinion it should be minor but yes, an administrative discipline of some sort is warranted):

Private citizens, do what you like. No issues in expressing your love, or disgust, of this country. But military members, not so much (and I am prior and I did get in trouble for not stopping during the anthem in tech school and I was disciplined).

yep don't sign on the dotted line if you can't fulfill your contract and don't cry or be surprised when you get in trouble for not doing what you agreed to.

My discipline was minor: base restriction for 2 weekends, a royal azz chewing, and no gym for 2 weeks.

you don't even need to be in the military, people get disciplined for being late to work, all sorts of things, I'm sure you didn't play the victim, owned up to it and let it go.

I called the aclu, the freedom from religion, delta phi sorority, and peta to save me... Didn't work. I was sad.... But I did start following ucmj.

The actual article says in uniform, face flag (or music if flags not visible) and salute. Not in uniform, stand at attention with hand over heart.

This is the 2nd recent issue along these lines. I'd say stop giving it media attention. If they get no attention and some sort of punishment then it isn't worth mentioning.

According to the militarytimes, "Ervin said she lost her security clearance and was threatened with jail by the Navy in response to her actions."

I'm okay with this.

You know I actually agree with your take on media attention driving copy cat actions. But media sells ad time by viewership/distribution and they know controversary sells... Even if the controversary is contrived.

I agree. When you are in the military you are under a unique set of rules that govern public and private decorum, and that is a good thing.

This current kerfuffle is the flag burning of the 90's. The right likes to get twisted into knots over this stuff, but there never was a problem in the first damn place, there is no problem now. Stand, don't stand, none of my f**king business. But.... If you are a Marine and decide to bonfire a flag, or not stand, well then... Get ready to get your a$$ stomped by whomever is in charge of a$$ stomping in your COC.

is it in the NBA contracts too? seems there was some pro sport organisation that had it in their contracts, if the future you may see this added to the contracts or policies of various jobs and organisations. oh the interesting times we live in.

Not that I am aware of.

I don't follow football, baseball or basketball, so these things are very low of my care meter regardless. If they DO write it into contracts, OK fine. If not, well then, let the guy sit, stand, take a sh1t, I don't care one bit.

Personally if someone wants to do backflips, it's three choice. Couple of thoughts:

What I like are the dbag writers/columnists/pundits who think their opinion is somehow 'profound'. StfuThe Internet intelligentistia who will proceed to lecture us all... From their moms basement with a masters in baroque poetry. StfuSelf hating crackers who think they are black panther jihadis (Adam gadahn) stfuAnd of course 'professors' who will educate us on the history of protest and free speech. Stfu

The reason her punishment was more severe was because she made a political statement while in uniform. A yuge no-no

Yes, this i know. I was just walking to get dinner... oversight but no statement.

I was actually hoping some would defend her action based off the Constitution showing their ignorance.

Technically, unless there has been an update, she hasn't been disciplined yet. Its up to her Commander.

If the commander was smart he'd ensure her a quick exit from the military.

She probably joined for school money, got to school, got indoctrinated by academia that 'Merica is bad, mmkay'... saw Kap's protest and decided it was a good thing... not so much.

That leaves me conflicted: one part says keep her in just to rub it in since she's obviously developed a resentment. Part says separation to stop the benefits one gets from being part of the military (tuition assistance, GI Bill... oh, and for those that say the GI Bill is a return on investment from money taken: not when you are a guard member. You don't contribute. Active duty does, Guard and Reserve do not).
